I suppose I was too definitive in saying there were 6 wins on that schedule. Any given Sunday, any team can beat any team, so it's entirely likely that we'll lose one of those games, but at the same time we have perfectly good chances to beat the Cowboys or Ravens. I mean heck, some teams lose to the Jags every year. The 13-3 Ravens lost to the Jags two years back. I figure that overall, we've got a very soft schedule remaining, and chances are good that we'll make the playoffs, bar serious injuries of course.

In any event, we've only seen one serious collapse/F up of the SOL, and that was in AZ. The Pack on the road are tough, especially down CJ and Nate, and the Bengals are a good team that barely managed a win. Bentley has done better since his awful PI in AZ, and the secondary should get better (with improvements to Slay, and healthier Houston/Mathis), as should the pass rush (Ansah and Taylor improving, Fairly going on a random run of dominance before disappearing)...

Really, you'll only get frustrated if your expectations are off. This is a team that'll probably get the wildcard, and if they draw the NFC East winner, they'll have a good chance of winning their first playoff game in years (again, barring significant injuries). That would be pretty nice IMO. If you're expecting much more than 10 wins, if you starting pulling your hair out and saying "SOL" every time they lose to a good team, then of course you will drive yourself nuts. Just enjoy the show.
